The host was very kind and welcoming. Its location is perfect.
Our stay was awesome. It worked out absolutely amazing. The room was perfect. We don’t expect fancy extremely over done places. We love lived in homely places. The staff was amazing. They were able to check us in a little early. We took the 6am ferry so we had lots of time before getting in the room, but being able to store our luggage while we wondered was great. The ac worked. The tv worked. Everything we needed was available. We even cooked breakfast instead of eating out. Overall very happy. We WILL stay again soon. Very soon
Very aged premises. Half the outlets worked. The bed was stiff as a board, and the pillows flat. And there were a lot of damaged floorboards.
However the staff was amazing. They let us check in 2 hrs early and check out 4 hrs late. They waived one day of pet fees. You're also are right near the stores and restaurants.
The staff was consistently very nice and helped with additional towels/questions that I had. I will say that the room was fairly run down. It was just me staying, so it wasn't that big of a deal, but new flooring, paint around the trim and possibly something to cover the fence/make a better view would go a long way. It is a budget hotel, rooms are small and there is no seating, just the bed, so just know that in advance.
Our ferry back got cancelled due to poor conditions. Staff was very accomodating and friendly to let us figure out our situation and let us stay free of charge til our new departure time.
Staff so friendly and helpful. Cottage Room was clean and perfect for my accommodations. AC was working wonderful!!! Fresh coffe all day at the front desk. Storage room for lounge very convenient!!
